I did both the "long" and "short" tests. This is a bit long email, but I thought being 
thorough. Its contents are:


(1) The log results of the tests.
(2) The summary lines of the tests.



(1) [root@localhost download]# smartctl -t long /dev/hdc

Sending command: "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-li ne mode".
Drive command "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode" 
successful.
Testing has begun.
Please wait 35 minutes for test to complete.
Test will complete after Sun Jan  8 01:35:34 2006

Use smartctl -X to abort test.

(2) I think the lines of:
